Embassy Searching
As a High Commander of the Diplomatic Corps of Thalassia, I am seen as the most senior foreign affairs official other than the President, Prime Minister, Foreign Minister, and perhaps the Deputy Foreign Ministers. Nevertheless, my duty is to be seen as a senior official and help look for new embassies.

As Prime Minister, I will continue to do this. I have done a great job at opening embassies between Pacifica and Thalassia and keeping the embassy with The North Pacific. I have also helped the and open more embassies. As Prime Minister, I hope to increase our embassies by a lot, but only if they follow our policy and we deem them worthy.

I also want to make sure any future High Commissioners follow in my steps. Thalassia needs to get its name on the field now or never, and when I say we need to become well known, I mean it in a good way. I don’t want Thalassia to be seen as the annoying successor region to a silly region that opposed the NPO.

I also want to make High Commissioners more into a mentor-like position. They are essentially a senior ambassador, with the permission of the Minister and PM, to seek new embassies and to mentor all new ambassadors.

Foreign Updates
I want to keep Thalassia in loop with all of our Embassy partners. I want to try and push out monthly updates. I will work with the Foreign Affairs Minister, the Information Minister, and Information Ministry staff members to write foreign updates for our embassies. I will then ask the Foreign Affairs Minister to let all ambassadors know to send them out.

Will they always be monthly? Perhaps not. Maybe by-weekly, maybe every month and a half, I don’t know. But I’m open to suggestions on the topic.

Alliances
Before anyone jumps to conclusions, by Alliance, I mean an agreement between more than one region on a certain subject. I don’t automatically mean a R/Ding alliance.

With that resolved, I am open to forming alliances with our currently existing embassy partners. When embassies opened with Tatenda, we intended to have a cultural, special pact. Unfortunately, that never came true because Tatenda right around then was transitioning into its merger stage (it’s still in its merger stage) and Pacifica shut down. But I intend to make new alliances for Thalassia. Whether cultural, roleplay, military (though its safe to say that probably will never be discussed due to a lack of a R/Ding force), or something else.

Potential Minister nomination
I have no problem with keeping Ayeinc as the Minister of Foreign Affairs. I’ve worked with Ayeinc many times before and he is a very good person to work with. Especially with his enthusiasm and experience.

Entertainment
At the moment all Culture really does is just act as a Roleplay Ministry. As Prime Minister, I will officially repurpose the Ministry. For now on, it will only serve as an “Entrainment” ministry aswell. I will continue keeping all roleplay matters to it but if thr only thing Culture does is roleplay, we may aswell rename it to “Ministry of Roleplay”.

This new Culture Ministry will host community events and games. Most likely I will have the ministry sponsor a community event every week or maybe twice a week. It could be just a Jeopardy type of game, to .io/other games with everyone in the region online asked to come and join us, and etc.

I will also have the Culture Ministry officially encompass all graphics relating to regional affairs and government. It will want our regional members want to join Culture just to be involved.

Culture will handle both entrainment and roleplay. Making it an one stop ministry shop type of ministry. :P

Alternative route
Alternatively, I could break up Culture into two new ministries. Making having another Minister exist. I will consider this idea too but I mainly think that a mega-ministry is best. I’m open to all thoughts, though.

RolePlay reform
When I become Prime Minister, I will officially establish a Cartography staff and work with the Minister to form a “Worldbuilding Guides” team and expand our “RolePlay Moderation”. I also think we should integrate our Roleplay into a mega Roleplay with another region. We tried that with Tatenda but never officially got released. I think having a mega roleplay map will lead to more roleplayers, bigger culture staff, and more room on the map (essentially a bigger map.)

Potential Minister
I think keeping Toer as Culture Minister is a wise option. Alternatively, other opinions could include Sho, Marit, and Rocky (if he hasn’t the President.) I am open to other candidates, though!

Quick note
I won’t be releasing my full intelligence platform because of reasons. We’re an intelligence ministry after all. :P But, I will disclose as much as I legally am able to.

Intelligence Pact
As I said, I can’t disclose everything. But I will look into forming an intelligence corporation pact with one of our embassy regions. We attempted to make one with Tatenda but never got off the ground. That’s all I’ll say.

Covert Operations Reform
The Ministry of Intelligence has a major issue with it comes to covert operations. I will work with the Minister to allow covert operations, but only with both Minister and PM approval and pose tons of rules when it comes to covert operations. I don’t like the idea of covert ops. Especially since we haven’t been the most resourceful when it came to considering them. But they might be helpful one day.

Confirmed Minister nomination
I will be keeping Bad as the Minister of Intelligence. As his Deputy, we have worked to slowly expand the ministry at the size required and helped promote security.

Row Lists
This is something I tried to establish back in the old days of Pacifica and even then-Prime Minister Wymond liked it. I will create “interior templates” for Home Affairs ministry members to use. Then, in a channel, I will post a list of rows of nations you need to telegram. Each row will include 8 nations (the Max you can technically telegram without stamps.) Then, ministry members will claim a group of rows and will telegram those nations with the template.

I will release a full guide within due time and I will work with the Minister to make the templates. The templates will include “Join the World Assembly and endorse the Delegate”, “join the civil service”, etc. You get the idea.

Regional Mentors
I will formally make a regional mentorship team. Every time a new nation comes to Thalassia, whether recruited, randomly found out about us, or found out by us by embassies or Pacifica, I or the Minister will assign a mentor to that person. They will telegram the new nation a template with information and every couple days for one month will continue being TG’d as a check up unless they asked to not get the telegrams anymore.

Gameside Moderation
I will remake the Gameside Moderation team. It will be timezone based. They will moderate the RMB with the Ministers and will promote government updates, events, etc.

Thalassia Republican Armanda?
Again, before anyone jumps to conclusions, this is only a consideration. Most likely this won’t happen, or at least under my term. But it will be considered.

Now, I might consider making a R/Ding military. The catch? It will be liberation/defender only if made. I’m a raider myself as an officer and Captain of the North Pacific Army. But, I don’t think we should become a raider region. As a wise person once said, we don’t want to align ourselves with the ideology of the region which exiled residents of St Abbaddon and caused the official start of Pacifica.

For example, if we have embassies with regions with executive delegates, we can help them in their Delegate transitions. We could act as “fendas” and stop raiders from tagging small regions. Finally, we could in general assist in piles. But in no way should we become a raider army.

This is somewhat more of a Presidential issue so if we do try and make a TRA, I will discuss it with the Cabinet and President.

Potential Minister
I will considering either keeping Wymond as Minister or making The Giled Star the Minister.

Regional Newspaper
I want to work on forming an official regional newspaper. It will be done on images but I think also making a word-transcript one also works. Just put it in the spoiler with the newspaper article with images. Other than that, there’s not much I can expand upon in that area.

Press Secretary
I will establish the office of the Press Secretary. Every few days or every time I, the President, or the Cabinet announces a regional change, the Press Secretary will announce a region-wide telegram to all of the nation’s of the change and link a dispatch of the change and press release.

Radio Broadcast
I think it’s best if we form a regional radio broadcast network with Mixerr or another program. It will be a very interesting concept to implement. It can be used for getting Thalassia out there. The North Pacific does this and so does Europeia and they do very well. We may aswell dip into this field, too. It can also expand Information greatly.

Potential Minister
I am divided on making either Czech or Wisk my minister nominee. Both are very talented writers. I am open to other candidates, though.

The new ministry
To keep Thalassia running, we must grow! I am announcing that I will propose a Constitutional Amendment to have a mandatory recruitment ministry. It’s not mandatory to add a proposed ministry to the Constitution to become a Ministry but I want it to be a permanent Ministry for all PM leaderships. It’s needed to survive and grow.

Recruiter strategy
All ministry members will be added to the official recruiters list. Every 12 hours or every day, I will work with the Minister to have ministry members send out very informative and very attractive telegrams (you can have your own custom ones with Minister or mine approval) saying why you should join Thalassia.

They will send out telegrams the same way Home Affairs will do it. We will also have a row system. I can explain more at another time.

Bringing back the old guard
I like having new blood, but Thalassia needs it’s old members back. I will work with the Recruitment Minister and a group of members if needed to recruit old members back one at a time.

Potential Minister
I am open to applications for Minister if elected.

Deputy Prime Minister
I will appoint the first Deputy PM upon my election. It will be one of the Cabinet ministers I trust. I won’t say who will be my Deputy PM until I confirm my full Cabinet, whether during or after the election.

Their only job is to be my main advisor, my back up in my absence, and to Chair cabinet meetings. That’s right, I will be delegating meeting chairship to my Deputy. It will be similar to how the irl U.S. Vice President is the President of the Senate.

Chief of Staff
Probably my highest civil advisor will be the Chief of Staff job I am forming is to just be my main advisor excluding the Deputy PM and to schedule Cabinet meetings and Prime Minister questions. They most likely will be someone who used to be a long time Minister, former President/PM, or even a non governmental official that’s very active and someone I can trust.

Advisory Board
I will be forming an official advisory board. They most likely will be either very active residents or former ministers. They will advise me and the Cabinet on how to run this Administration.

Community Discord
I’m very wary on making a new community discord. The only reason why our government discord is safe is because it’s private. Plus, we have proven to be a very active community onsite community instead of off site.

If people have any inquiries, I will make an official onsite pinned list of contacts or put the list of contacts in the welcome dispatch. It will include my and the ministers’ discord contacts and maybe even Skype contacts if any of you still use Skype. :P

But anyways, I personally don’t support bringing back the community discord. But once we get 200 or 300 members, become more active, more people ask for a community discord, and we can work on a new security system, then I might consider a community discord. But at the moment I don’t support bringing it back and not a main worry at the moment.

Also, you can read my full stance on socializing the Government discord here.
